Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to attach two parts of a device so that they can be folded together. In one embodiment, a part of the device can be temporarily secured to the main part so that it can be easily detached and unfolded without needing to hold onto it. This makes it easier for users to use the device in its folded state.

Problems solved by technology

When an adhesive surface of a wafer of an ostomy appliance is covered by two release liners and a cutting guide is printed onto both release liners, then the requirements to aligning the two release liners correctly relative to each other are high as incorrectly aligned cutting guides may mislead the user and make it difficult to adapt a passage in the wafer which fits the shape of the stoma of the user.

Abstract

An ostomy appliance for attachment to a stoma, comprising an adhesive wafer (100) a first part of which is covered by a first release liner (104) and a second part of which is covered by a second release liner (106). At least one of the two release liners defines an attached part which in an initial state is attached to the skin facing adhesive layer (102), and a foldable part which in a folded state is folded such that it covers at least a part of the attached part and such that it is not in direct contact with the skin facing adhesive layer. A cutting guide (120) is printed onto the at least a part of the attached part and the foldable part.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an ostomy appliance comprising a collecting bag and an adhesive wafer onto which a first and a second release liner are fastened. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for adjusting an ostomy appliance to the shape of a stoma.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]When an adhesive surface of a wafer of an ostomy appliance is covered by two release liners and a cutting guide is printed onto both release liners, then the requirements to aligning the two release liners correctly relative to each other are high as incorrectly aligned cutting guides may mislead the user and make it difficult to adapt a passage in the wafer which fits the shape of the stoma of the user.[0003]It is an object of one or more embodiments of the present invention to provide a solution to this problem.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0004]In a FIRST aspect, the present invention relates to an ostomy appliance for collecting waste material from a s...
